review 1: When I read the blurb, I was expecting an emotional drama full of tears, so just to be prepared, I kept some tissues by my side. As it turns out, the story is complicated with so many threads woven together to make it appealing to the reader. To be honest, I have mixed reactions towards the book. At some places, I felt it is a remarkable story of a family who is fighting to survive their child who is terminally ill. But some situations and behavior of the characters is so awkward that I find it hard to believe. The characters are carved out in a way that I cannot relate to them. If I put myself in their shoes, I would probably react differently and may not agree to the decisions that they make. That is just my point of view! Overall, not a bad story but maybe required a mo... morere expert writing to deal with such a sensitive and mature storyline.
review 2: The cover looks all chick-lit-ty, but I liked the synopsis(es?) i had read and decided to give it a try. And really enjoyed it. It helps that I could empathize/feel for/hate most of the characters in it. While I did have some trouble with her writing style (she writes like a non-native speaker (am one myself, so...) who uses the thesaurus option on Word a lot - some very proper English and weird sentence constructions; some inconsistent tenses; some poor editing), I realized that if I had ever written (doubt I will ever write one) a book, it would have dealt with the same themes in much the same manner. When she discussed certain issues and their implications, the explanations seemed a little trite. Like she had to say them, but didnt want to spend too many words on them, so finished it up in as text-booky language as possible, to get the point across. But, yes, this book did get me slightly teary-eyed... less
